Question

cole is an urban planner. he wants to create a small - scale drawing of a city block. the block is a square with sides of length 100 m. draw the city block such that 1 unit on the grid below represents 5 m.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate number of units per side

Since each side of the square - block is 100 m and 1 unit represents 5 m, we divide the length of the side by the scale factor. The formula is $n=\frac{l}{s}$, where $n$ is the number of units, $l$ is the length of the side of the real - life block, and $s$ is the scale (1 unit = 5 m). So, $n=\frac{100}{5}=20$ units.

Step2: Draw the square

On the grid, starting from a chosen point, draw a square with each side having 20 units.

Answer:

Draw a square on the grid with each side consisting of 20 units.
